Profoto RFi Octa Softbox 

Closeout: Used Profoto 5' RFi Softbox, Octa #254712 E MFR: 254712.

While the Profoto 5' RFi Softbox Octa is a highly sought-after tool among professional photographers, its unique design and functionality set it apart in the realm of light shaping control. This stylish and durable softbox, with its octagonal shape, is particularly favored for fashion, beauty, and portrait photography. Its distinct form not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the images but also produces a natural-looking catch light in the subject's eyes, a detail that adds depth and life to the photographs. Constructed from high-quality materials, this softbox is designed to withstand the rigors of professional use, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. It comes equipped with a front diffuser and an inner baffle, both of which work in harmony to diffuse the light source, providing a soft, even illumination that beautifully highlights the subject. The versatility of the Profoto 5' RFi Softbox Octa is another of its standout features. It boasts compatibility with a wide range of strobe lights, making it a flexible choice for various photography setups. Whether you're shooting with digital or film cameras, this softbox can adapt to your needs, offering you greater control over your lighting conditions and the final image. In summary, the Profoto 5' RFi Softbox Octa is more than just a softbox. It's a tool for creative expression, a means to capture the world in its best light.

Honestly the single largest disappointment in my professional photo career. Obviously Profoto lights are fine, but the modifiers are nothing special, whatsoever. I?m so tempted to make a video illustrating how, not only are they ordinary? the Glow Series III (the cheap ones) are actually so close to identical that its sickening. Same specs, speedrings, reflective interior texture, stitching? all of it! I returned the 48 octa and the 1x3 strip. I have been deceived, and it has changed the way I view Profoto forever. For the exact same results and build, get the Glow. To up your game, the Elinchrom modifiers are remarkably better in every way.

Deception. Buy the Glow (or any other brand, really)

Great quality, I?m PROFOTO not bu choice but by the demand of what I do. I need reliable, ok it was a strategic choice.

Strategic Choice

I love my new Profoto 3' Octo it has a beautiful soft yet crisp look that is amazing i use the Octo for business ,acting and Modeling headshots I highly recommend this product ! Thanks again Patrick

Pro Foto Octo review

Beautiful light modifier;  quality was expected and delivered!

Top pick!

The light quality from the 4' octa is lovely, but I'm very disappointed with the build quality and (lack of) ease of assembly.  The seams are very weak where the panels are sewn together and tear easily. You must be very gentle and careful when assembling not to put too much tension on the fabric. Also, the rods have a tendency to fall out of the pockets that hold them, so every time you assemble you are wrangling 8 rods that may or may not be holding in the right place. Chimera does not have this problem.

Great light but bad build

Perfect... get really good soft light with my strobe light. 

Can't go wrong with Profoto

Perfect for quick photo shoot or anywhere where size might be an issue. Easy to transport

Loving it

This octa seems better made than some and it is somewhat  deeper and heavier than others of its size. The fabric is extra sturdy. The light quality is great from medium to close in. Lovely light wrap. You can easily do portraits with this box alone as the key or just this and one other fill source.

It is silver lined so it is somewhat more specular than a white interior or indirect rig.... but nice with both diffusers in. I have not used it with only one diffuser and do not plan to.

This box is precisely made so putting it together and taking it apart - off the speed ring - for travel is more difficult and time consuming than other brands. So much so - that it cannot really be recommended for location work if other people depend on your time and attention. 

if you are going to be in a studio all day it is clearly worth the effort. Profoto can address this with a new design and I hope they do.

If you are using it with a Profoto monolight you need mount the speed ring all the way back on the light head and use a glass dome to prevent a hot spot. The Acute heads already have a glass dome but it is still best to push the speed ring all the way onto the head.

Nice light quality

Very well constructed, it is somewhat difficult to set up by yourself, but the images are well worth it. I use this for portrait work and it gives very pleasing wrap and a nice catch light. it is large so you need space, it is about 2 1/2' deep when attached to the speedring (not including the monolight). It does pack nicely into the storage bag.

Profoto 5' RFI Octa Softbox

I use this for portrait work. The size is perfect for small indoor areas and the light gives a good wrap. It is somewhat difficult to setup by yourself but the images are worth it. It packs nicely into the storage bag.
